Every New Car You Can Still Buy With A Manual Transmission

By Khris Bharath –  July 26, 2026

Every New Car You Can Still Buy With A Manual Transmission

The auto industry has spent the better part of the last decade reinventing itself, and little of that transformation favors the traditionalist. Engine downsizing has replaced naturally aspirated V8s with turbocharged four-cylinders across entire model ranges, while six-cylinder engines have steadily disappeared from mainstream lineups.  Hybrids have become the default choice for many manufacturers, electric vehicles continue to claim a growing share of new car sales, and SUVs now occupy showroom space once reserved for sedans, coupes, and sports cars. Today, legacy automakers face real competitive pressure both at home and from international players. For enthusiasts, however, no single trend has been more significant than the slow disappearance of the manual transmission. As manufacturers pursue stricter emissions regulations, improved fuel economy, electrification, and ever quicker acceleration figures, the traditional three-pedal gearbox has become an increasingly rare sight in new car showrooms. Oddly enough, the manual transmission has found a second life as a practical selling point. Security researchers and insurers alike have pointed out that a clutch pedal functions as an accidental anti-theft device in the era of keyless relay attacks and increasingly sophisticated vehicle theft, simply because many modern thieves never learned to drive one. Also, recent auction results point to an entirely different trend. Manual-equipped cars, particularly those fitted with traditional gated shifters, have become some of the most desirable configurations on the collector market, frequently commanding significant premiums over their automated counterparts. Part of that demand traces back to demographics. A younger wave of aspirational buyers and collectors, who grew up with these cars as bedroom wall posters and are now financially established enough to own them. For many, manual cars represent the purest expression of the driving experience, offering a level of engagement that even the quickest dual-clutch transmission cannot replicate. Having said that, while the pool of production cars still offered with a stick and three pedals has diminished year over year, we looked hard and wide to find out exactly what remains available. What we found surprised us. Over 20 cars with everything from sub-$40,000 sports cars all the way to seven-figure supercars and hypercars still pack a genuine manual transmission, brand new, in 2026. That number is even higher when you consider the growing number of restomod creations. 1.

10 Fastest American Production Cars

10 Fastest American Production Cars

As the nation's 250th Independence Day celebrations carry into the weekend, American ingenuity is still measured, in no small part, by how fast it can go. After all, it was American industry that pioneered mass production itself, and Henry Ford's moving assembly line didn't just make the car affordable; it rewrote how the world manufactures everything from appliances to aircraft. Detroit kept collecting firsts for decades afterward: Cadillac gave the industry its first electric self-starter in 1912, freeing drivers from the hand crank, then followed it in 1916 with the Type 53's now-universal cockpit layout, gear lever and handbrake in the center console, clutch, brake, and throttle pedals in that order on the floor. World War II gave the country the Willys Jeep, a rugged military vehicle that would go on to inspire icons like the Land Rover and Toyota Land Cruiser. The decades that followed cemented America's automotive identity. Detroit's big-block horsepower wars produced muscle car legends like the Mustang, Camaro, and Charger, Route 66 became synonymous with the freedom of the open road, and Hollywood carried that image around the world, from Steve McQueen's Mustang in Bullitt to the Fast & Furious franchise. Meanwhile, the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah became the proving ground for generations of land speed records. On the EV side, Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian may be household names today, but over a century ago, electric cars, in fact, were serious competitors to gasoline at the turn of the 20th century. Today, the Big Three still dominate the volume side of the U.S. market, but it's boutique builders like Czinger, SSC, Saleen, and Hennessey writing the next chapter of American performance, taking on Europe's best on their own terms. Last year, for the Fourth, duPont REGISTRY looked at 10 American mid-engined concepts that never made it to production but pushed American design forward anyway. On the occasion of the nation’s semiquincentennial, we're looking at the 10 fastest American production cars that made it to production, capable of going past 200 mph, past 250, and now within reach of 300.  *** A note on method: this list ranks genuine production runs sold to paying customers, not one-off prototypes, and draws a hard line between independently verified two-way speed runs and manufacturer claims.  10. Dodge Viper GTS 206 mph, manufacturer claim As the last naturally aspirated car on this list, the Viper was always Dodge's rebuttal to the idea that America needed forced induction or all-wheel drive to run with Europe's best. An 8.4-liter V10 making 645 horsepower gave the final-generation coupe a manufacturer-claimed top speed of 206 mph, though independent testing and owner-verified runs have generally topped out closer to 190 to 202 mph, with a 0 to 60 mph sprint in the neighborhood of 3.5 seconds. The track-focused ACR variant actually trades that top speed: its Extreme Aero Package generates nearly a ton of downforce at the cost of a 177 mph top speed, earning it 13 production-car lap records instead of a spot on this list.  9. Ford GT 216 mph, manufacturer claim Ford designed the second-generation Ford GT with a singular mission: to return to Le Mans and win, and the resulting car paired a twin-turbocharged V6 with 647 horsepower and a 216-mph top speed. Ford didn't mass-produce it; a little over 1,000 examples were hand assembled by Multimatic between 2017 and 2022. The road car's real vindication came in 2016, exactly 50 years after the original GT40's legendary 1,2,3 finish, when the modern GT claimed the GTE class win at Le Mans against Porsche and Ferrari. Ford built the fast car first and proved it at La Sarthe second, the same order it followed in 1966. 8. Hennessey Exorcist Camaro 217 mph Hennessey Performance Engineering's take on the Camaro ZL1 added a 3.0-liter supercharger and internals to match, arriving at a round 1,000 horsepower and, verified by VBOX telemetry at the Continental Tire Proving Grounds, a 217 mph top speed, the fastest Camaro Chevrolet's platform ever produced, official or otherwise. With the nameplate now discontinued, the Exorcist has a strong claim to being the fastest Camaro that will ever exist, a title it earned through the same brand of Texas-built excess that's helped establish Hennessey as a builder of complete high-performance vehicles. 7. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 212 mph (C7) and 233 mph (C8), both verified The Corvette ZR1 has set America's mainstream production-car speed benchmark twice. The C7-generation ZR1's supercharged 6.2-liter LT5 V8 made 755 horsepower, enough for an independently verified two-way average of 212 mph at Germany's Papenburg test track, a serious number in its own right before the mid-engine C8 rewrote the Corvette's identity. The current C8-generation ZR1 answered with a twin-turbocharged, flat-plane-crank 5.5-liter V8 producing 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque, backed by a witnessed 233 mph run at the same Papenburg oval, with GM President Mark Reuss himself at the wheel, and it remains the only car on this list still available to order from a dealership. Chevrolet's newer electrified ZR1X adds output but not top speed; its front motor disengages above 160 mph, leaving the standard C8 ZR1 with the faster number. 6. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo claimed 248 mph, unverified >Steve Saleen's answer to the Ferrari Enzo started as what is widely regarded as America's first modern production supercar in 2000, already the most powerful street-legal American car of its day at 550 horsepower. To keep pace as Ferrari raised the bar, Saleen added twin turbochargers for the 2005 S7 Twin Turbo, lifting output to 750 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque, with a claimed top speed of 248 mph. A track-verified two-way run has never surfaced publicly, the gap that keeps this Irvine, California-built legend a notch below the cars above it, despite an underlying platform that clearly had the legs for it. 5. Czinger 21C V Max 253 mph, manufacturer claim   This is the most radical engineering exercise on the entire list, built by a company most collectors had never heard of five years ago. Los Angeles-based Czinger builds the 21C around 3D-printed structural components and a tandem-seat cockpit, with the V Max configuration pairing a 950-horsepower twin-turbo flat-plane-crank V8 with electric motors on each front wheel for a combined 1,250 horsepower. Czinger quotes 253 mph for the V Max, and 280 mph in the lowest-drag configuration, but a public two-way record attempt has yet to materialize. Whatever the final number, it has already established a Circuit of the Americas production-car benchmark that stood until Hennessey lowered it, part of a broader run of lap records across multiple circuits. 4. SSC Ultimate Aero TT 256.14 mph two-way average, verified (2007) Long before the Tuatara, SSC's first hypercar took the outright world speed record away from Europe. The Ultimate Aero TT appeared on the cover of duPont REGISTRY in October 2006, and less than a year later, on a closed stretch of Highway 221 in West Richland, Washington, its 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V8 carried it to a Guinness-verified two-way average of 256.14 mph, edging out the Bugatti Veyron's then-unofficial 253.81 mph. Only 24 examples were built, comfortably clearing the 30-unit threshold that later disqualified Hennessey's Venom GT. The record held until 2010, when the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport reclaimed it at 267.81 mph, and SSC would not hold the title again until the Tuatara took it back more than a decade later. 3. Hennessey Venom GT 270.49 mph, one-way record (2014) Built on a heavily reworked Lotus Elise and Exige chassis, the Venom GT paired a twin-turbocharged 7.0-liter V8 making more than 1,200 horsepower with a curb weight kept aggressively low, and in 2014 it ran 270.49 mph one way at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility, still the fastest speed ever recorded by a manual-transmission production car. It never qualified for Guinness's production-car record because Hennessey capped the run at 29 units, and only 13 were ultimately built, one short of the 30-unit threshold. That shortfall, not the car's speed, is the only thing keeping a record-setting American hypercar at third instead of first on this list. 2. Hennessey Venom F5 328 mph theoretical, record run pending   Hennessey's clean-sheet follow-up to the Venom GT was built to make the company a bona fide manufacturer rather than a modifier of other people's chassis. Its 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged Fury V8 makes 1,817 horsepower in standard form and 2,031 horsepower in the E85-fueled Evolution package, and the car has already banked a verified 219.07 mph standing half-mile in 2024 and the fastest production-car lap ever recorded at Circuit of the Americas. Founder John Hennessey has said the car's CFD-modeled ceiling sits at 328 mph, with a stated target of a two-way average north of 300 mph. As of this writing, that run hasn't happened yet, and until it does, the F5's ranking rests on numbers already on the record rather than numbers still promised. 1. SSC Tuatara 282.9 mph two-way average, verified (295.0 mph one-way, 2022) Built in Richland, Washington, by SSC North America, founded by Jerod Shelby in 1999, the Tuatara is the fastest fully verified American production car ever built. Its mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter V8 makes up to 1,750 horsepower on E85, and in January 2021, at the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds in Florida, it posted a two-way average of 282.9 mph under standard timing methodology, the figure that actually counts under record rules requiring runs in both directions. The car has since gone faster in a straight line, hitting 295.0 mph one way in May 2022, but that pass does not qualify as a record because it was never repeated in the opposite direction within the required window. More than two decades after Shelby founded the company, and nearly two decades after its predecessor, the Ultimate Aero, briefly held the outright world speed record between 2007 and its dethroning by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in 2010, SSC's patience has paid off with the outright American production-car speed title.

10 Low-Production Hypercars That Should Be On Every Collector's Radar

By Khris Bharath –  June 07, 2026

10 Low-Production Hypercars That Should Be On Every Collector's Radar

Last week, we spotlighted a 1-of-50 Maserati MC12 and its record-breaking $9,460,000 sale at Mecum Indianapolis in May, a new record for both the model and the Maserati marque. The car was a low-mileage, U.S. EPA-certified example with just 320 miles on the odometer. Per duPont REGISTRY Garage data, this latest result nearly doubled the previous record of $5.2 million set at Broad Arrow's Monterey sale in August last year. The question is whether this result is an outlier or confirmation of what a small group of collectors already understand: rare hypercars shaped by motorsport and aerodynamic development are having a moment. duPont REGISTRY Garage is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Start tracking your collector car portfolio value today The longtail concept has its roots in endurance racing, where extended rear bodywork reduces aerodynamic drag at high speed without sacrificing downforce. The principle was refined at Le Mans through cars like the Porsche 917 LH and Ferrari 512 S, reaching its peak on the Mulsanne Straight before the FIA installed chicanes in 1990 and permanently ended the era of full-speed longtail racing. The concept re-entered the modern collector conversation with cars like the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail in 1997, a car built to win 24-hour races and homologated as loosely as the rulebook allowed. What makes longtail cars compelling to collectors is their convergence of extreme rarity, direct motorsport lineage, and visual drama that most standard production cars can't match. They exist at the intersection of engineering purpose and aesthetic extremism. The MC12's trajectory suggests the market is beginning to price that combination more aggressively. Looking beyond the road car itself, Maserati developed three MC12 GT1 race cars for the FIA GT Championship, a program that helped secure FIA GT manufacturers' titles in 2005 and 2007 while establishing the MC12 as one of the marque's most successful modern competition cars. With the model now firmly in the upper seven figures and rising, the question for collectors and market watchers is which machine could be next. While not every car on this list fits the traditional Le Mans definition of a longtail, each combines motorsport influence, aerodynamic innovation, or high-speed engineering in a way that has shaped its appeal among collectors. It is also worth noting that not every car featured here is street-legal. With that, here are ten motorsport-derived hypercars every collector should keep an eye on.  10. Jaguar XJ220 (1992-1994)  275 Units | dRi: $478,685 The Jaguar Type 00 may be making all the headlines these days, but in collector circles, it is cars like the Jaguar XJ220  that are enjoying renewed interest.  Only 275 were built between 1992 and 1994, and although the final production variant dropped a V12 in favor of a 3.5-liter V6, its 212.3 mph at the Nardo test track in southern Italy made it the fastest production car in the world until the McLaren F1 came along.  Its sleek lines, built around a lightweight aluminum honeycomb chassis and double-wishbone suspension at all four corners, give it engineering substance that its current market value is only beginning to reflect. Originally priced at approximately $650,000, exceptional examples are now increasingly challenging the seven-figure mark as collectors continue to reassess one of the defining supercars of the 1990s. 9. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo (2005-2009) ~100 Units | dRi: $575,000 The Saleen S7 remains one of the most significant American exotic cars ever produced, yet public sales remain surprisingly infrequent. Developed as a clean-sheet design, the hand-built mid-engined S7 evolved into the Twin Turbo, where a 7.0-liter V8, which produced up to 750 horsepower and a claimed top speed exceeding 240 mph. The model also spawned the successful S7-R racing program, which secured victories in FIA GT and American Le Mans Series competition. As collectors increasingly pursue low-volume, race-derived supercars, the S7 appears positioned for broader market recognition. Sold for around $555,000 when new, the S7 remains one of the few American supercars capable of matching Europe's finest while still trading well below many of its contemporary rivals. 8. Ferrari FXX K Evo (2017-2020) 40 Units | dRi: $6,500,000 The FXX K Evo sits within Ferrari's invitation-only Corse Clienti programme, making confirmed public sales rare. Developed from Ferrari's 40-car FXX K program and built on LaFerrari underpinnings, it combines a 6.3-liter V12 hybrid system producing 1,050 horsepower with an aerodynamic package capable of generating more than 1,000 pounds of downforce. Extended dive planes, revised bodywork, and a repositioned fixed rear wing distinguish the Evo or 'Evoluzione' from the standard FXX K. Ferrari continues to oversee servicing and track support through the XX Programme. 7. Ferrari FXX (2005-2007) 30 Units | dRi: $6,325,000 Confirmed public sales have been exceptionally rare across the Ferrari FXX's entire history. All 30 examples were built on Ferrari Enzo underpinnings, with the F140 DA V12 enlarged to 6.3 liters and uprated from the Enzo's 651 horsepower to 800 horsepower. Like the FXX K Evo, this is a track-only, invitation-only car from Ferrari. The cars were maintained and operated through Ferrari's Corse Clienti program between events at circuits worldwide. The FXX represents the Enzo taken to its absolute performance ceiling and remains one of the most important and influential models in the history of Ferrari's XX Programme. 6. Pagani Huayra R Evo (2024-Present) 30 Units Developed as the open-top evolution of the Huayra R, the Huayra R Evo represents one of the most extreme track-focused cars ever produced by Pagani. Unveiled in 2024 as part of the Arte in Pista program, it draws inspiration from the open-cockpit endurance prototypes that raced at Le Mans during the 1960s and 1970s.  Power comes from a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 co-developed with Mercedes-Benz and HWA AG, producing 900 horsepower and revving to 9,200 rpm. Weighing just 2,337 pounds dry thanks to its advanced carbo-titanium monocoque, the Huayra R Evo features an IndyCar-style open-top design, a codalunga (long-tail) rear section that stretches the car by approximately 7.5 inches, and an aerodynamic package that generates more downforce and efficiency than the standard Huayra R. Production is limited to just 30 examples worldwide, with pricing reported at approximately $3.1 million before options. 5. Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMG Straßenversion (1998-1999) 30 Units (25 Coupes, 5 Roadsters) | dRi: $7,000,000 Conceived to satisfy FIA GT1 homologation requirements in the mid-1990s, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Straßenversion (Streetversion) packs a mid-mounted 6.9-liter AMG V12 producing 612 horsepower directly behind the driver. At launch, it became the most expensive production car in the world at $1.55 miilion. Confirmed public sales have been exceptionally rare throughout its history, with just 25 coupes and 5 roadsters produced. Relative to comparable homologation specials of its era, the CLK GTR remains one of the few road-going GT1 cars still trading below the market heights reached by the McLaren F1, despite comparable rarity and motorsport significance. 4. Porsche 911 GT1 Straßenversion (1996-1998) 25 Units | $5,665,000 Hailing from the same era as the aforementioned CLK GTR, the  Porsche 911 GT1, too, was built to satisfy FIA GT1 homologation requirements; the 25 road cars placed a mid-mounted 3.2-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 544 horsepower directly behind the driver. While borrowing styling cues from both the 993 and emerging 996 generations, the carbon fiber and Kevlar body sat atop a purpose-built steel spaceframe with no structural relationship to a standard 911. The road car shared its engine architecture directly with the GT1 race cars that competed at Le Mans. As with the Merc, confirmed public sales rank among the rarest events in the collector car market. The most recent 911 GT1 to go under the hammer was a 993 Rennversion at Broad Arrow during Monterey Car Week in 2024, fetching $7,045,000.  3. Ford GT LM Edition (2022) 20 Units  Created to mark the end of Ford GT production and celebrate Ford's class victory at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, the GT LM Edition stands among the most exclusive modern American supercars. Production was limited to just 20 examples, each built by Multimatic and inspired by the race-winning Ford GT program that returned the Blue Oval to Le Mans glory 50 years after the GT40's historic triumph. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 producing 660 horsepower, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. Carbon-fiber wheels, titanium exhaust components, and numerous bespoke details distinguish the LM Edition from the standard Ford GT. Originally priced at over $500,000, the model has quickly become one of the most sought-after modern Ford performance cars among collectors. 2. Pagani Zonda R (2009-2011) 15 Units The Pagani Zonda R was built as the ultimate track-focused evolution of the Zonda; all 15 examples carried a naturally aspirated AMG 6.0-liter M297 V12 that produces 740 horsepower in a car weighing just 2,359 pounds dry. While the road-going Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Straßenversion that we touched on earlier featured a larger 6.9-liter version of the M297, the Zonda R's engine traces its lineage to the M120-based V12s that powered Mercedes' GT1 racing program in the late 1990s.  Full carbon fiber and titanium construction extends to the suspension wishbones and exhaust system. The Zonda R sits at the absolute ceiling of the Zonda line and is amongst the most potent Paganis ever made. Five Zonda R examples were further upgraded into even more extreme Revolucion-spec cars. The scarcity of public transactions has only reinforced its status as one of the most elusive modern hypercars. 1. McLaren F1 GTR Longtail (1997) 10 Units | $21,000,000 Developed as the ultimate evolution of the McLaren F1 GTR, the Longtail was created to counter increasingly specialized GT1 rivals such as the aforementioned Porsche 911 GT1 and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR through improved aerodynamics, reduced weight, and greater high-speed stability. Just 10 examples were built to the 1997 specification, each pairing a sequential Xtrac gearbox with a revised 6.0-liter BMW S70/3 V12.  The Longtail extended the standard F1 GTR by nearly two feet and went on to win five rounds of the 1997 FIA GT Championship. Chassis 027R, later converted for road use by Lanzante, carried an $18 to $21 million estimate through RM Sotheby's Sealed in March 2026, with the result remaining confidential. Few competition-derived hypercars better embody the intersection of motorsport pedigree, rarity, and collector appeal.

10 Mid-Engine Ferraris That Are Faster Than An Enzo Around Fiorano

By Khris Bharath –  April 18, 2026

10 Mid-Engine Ferraris That Are Faster Than An Enzo Around Fiorano

The Ferrari Enzo set a 1:24.9 at Fiorano in the early 2000s, a benchmark that carried real weight, reflecting Ferrari’s understanding of performance on its own proving ground; what stands out now is not simply that it has been beaten, but how decisively that mark has fallen over time. Fiorano itself is central to that story, a 1.8-mile, 12-turn private circuit adjacent to the Maranello factory, built in 1972 and engineered specifically for development work, with varied corner profiles, elevation changes, and controlled testing conditions that allow Ferrari to extract consistent, repeatable data. <- Gallery -> It might seem that a list like this undermines the Enzo, but that's missing the point. Powered by a mid-engined 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated V12, it remains one of the all-time great Ferraris, spanning several derivatives. Limited to 399 examples, this is a Ferrari halo hypercar through and through and is a defining member of the Ferrari “Big Five.” Market confidence continues to reflect that standing, highlighted by a record-setting recent sale at the Mecum Kissimmee Auction in January, where a low-mileage example from the Phil and Martha Bachman Collection achieved $17,875,000. Significantly higher than the Enzo's duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value of $6,922,500, it reinforces sustained demand for this mid-engined 2000s flagship.  Its legacy is further anchored by the direct involvement of Michael Schumacher in development and by its namesake, Enzo Ferrari. This list about Ferrari lap records at Fiorano is purely factual, highlighting how far Ferrari’s performance has progressed over the past two decades across both combustion and hybrid platforms, and to keep the comparison consistent, it focuses exclusively on mid-engined models, aligning with the Enzo’s configuration rather than introducing faster front-engined alternatives. Ferrari 458 Speciale A 1m 23.5s Unveiled at the 2014 Paris Motor Show and limited to just 499 units, the Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta arrived as a celebration of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V8 lineage, yet despite the inherent compromises of an open-top structure, including added reinforcement and marginally increased weight (50 kg or 110 pounds more than the coupe), it managed to record a 1:23.5 lap at Fiorano during factory validation testing. This matches the coupe exactly and places it 1.4 seconds ahead of the Enzo, thanks to a 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 that produces 597 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, active aerodynamic flaps, and a blown rear diffuser that collectively enhanced stability and cornering speed in ways the Enzo’s static aero simply could not replicate. Ferrari 458 Speciale 1m 23.5s Revealed at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and produced in far larger numbers of ~3,000 units, the Ferrari 458 Speciale coupe represents one of the purest expressions of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated philosophy, with the same aformentioned 4.5-liter naturally-aspirated V8 that puts out 597 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, yet its significance lies less in raw output and more in how it deployed that performance, recording a 1:23.5 lap at Fiorano shortly after launch, beating the Enzo by 1.4 seconds through superior mechanical grip, lightweight construction (200 pounds lighter than the standard 458), and active aerodynamics that could stall airflow when needed, while its titanium springs and recalibrated SCM-E dampers gave it a level of feedback and precision that remains a reference point for enthusiasts even today. Ferrari 488 GTB 1m 23s The Ferrari 488 GTB, unveiled in 2015 at Geneva, marked Ferrari’s return to turbocharging in its core mid-engine berlinetta lineup. The 3.9-liter twin-turbo puts out 661 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque, and while its 1:23.0 Fiorano lap might not appear dramatic on paper, it represented a critical step forward. This puts it nearly two seconds ahead of the Enzo through the introduction of variable torque management, which adjusted boost delivery by gear to replicate the linearity of a naturally aspirated engine, ensuring that throttle response remained predictable and precise, a key factor in maintaining driver confidence while transitioning to forced induction technology. Ferrari F8 Tributo 1m 22.5s Introduced in 2019 at Geneva, the Ferrari F8 Tributo represents the final iteration of Ferrari’s twin turbo V8 berlinetta before the shift to hybridization, and while it was not limited in production, it still carried significant engineering weight, making 710 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque from its evolved 3.9-liter engine. It recorded a 1:22.5 lap at Fiorano during internal testing, placing it 2.4 seconds ahead of the Enzo, not through radical changes but through refinement, including the S-Duct front aero system that channels air over the nose to increase downforce without drag, resulting in sharper front-end response and a more stable platform under braking and high-speed cornering. Ferrari 296 GTS 1m 21.8s Revealed in 2022, the Ferrari 296 GTS builds on the GTB’s hybrid platform while introducing an open-top configuration that traditionally would compromise performance, yet its 1:21.8 Fiorano lap, set during factory testing, places it over three seconds ahead of the Enzo. Powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 combined with an electric motor, it has a combined system output of 819 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque. The hot V turbo layout that shortens airflow paths and reduces lag, while its low center of gravity and compact packaging contribute to a level of agility that allows it to maintain high cornering speeds despite the additional structural complexity associated with its retractable roof. Ferrari 488 Pista 1m 21.5s By the time the Ferrari 488 Pista arrived at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari had already embraced turbocharging, but this was the moment it refined the formula into something sharper, more deliberate, and more track-focused, with a production run of around 3,500 units. Powered by 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, it puts out 710 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque, it lapped Fiorano in 1:21.5 during development testing, which is 3.4 seconds quicker than the Enzo's time, aided by extensive weight reduction (~200 pounds lighter than the standard 488), aggressive aero derived from the 488 Challenge, and Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer (FDE), a system that subtly applies brake pressure mid-corner to control yaw and rotation, resulting in a car that feels more intuitive the harder it is pushed. Ferrari 296 GTB 1m 21s When Ferrari revealed the Ferrari 296 GTB in 2021, it marked a decisive shift toward hybridization, replacing the traditional V8 with a 120 degree 3.0-liter twin turbocharged V6 paired with an electric motor to produce a combined 819 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque, and while that configuration might have seemed unconventional in the context of Ferrari’s history, the results at Fiorano were undeniable, with a 1:21.0 lap during factory testing, nearly four seconds quicker than the Enzo, achieved through a compact engine layout, reduced polar moment of inertia, and the seamless torque delivery enabled by the electric motor filling gaps during gear changes, creating a driving experience defined by continuity rather than interruption. Ferrari LaFerrari 1m 19.7s Unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and limited to 499 coupes, the Ferrari LaFerrari represents Ferrari’s first application of hybrid technology in a road-going hypercar, pairing a 6.3 liter naturally aspirated V12 with an electric motor to produce a combined 950 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, and when it recorded a 1:19.7 lap at Fiorano during final development testing, it effectively redefined the benchmark set by the Enzo, beating it by more than five seconds through the use of active aerodynamics that continuously adjust front and rear downforce, combined with energy recovery systems derived directly from Ferrari’s Formula One program. Ferrari SF90 Spider 1m 19.5s Introduced in 2020 as the open-top counterpart to the SF90 Stradale, the Ferrari SF90 Spider combines a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with three electric motors to produce 986 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, and despite the structural complexity of its retractable hardtop, it recorded a 1:19.5 lap at Fiorano shortly after the coupe’s validation runs. It puts this plug-in hybrid convertible more than five seconds ahead of the Enzo, with its all-wheel-drive system using independent front electric motors to deliver torque vectoring, fundamentally changing how the car rotates into and exits corners, while maintaining rigidity levels that allow it to perform consistently under sustained track conditions. Ferrari SF90 Stradale 1m 19.0s Introduced in 2019 as Ferrari’s first series production plug-in hybrid supercar, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale packs the same aforementioned 4.0-liter twin turbocharged V8 with three electric motors that puts out 986 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, and when it set a 1:19.0 lap at Fiorano during factory testing, it established a new performance baseline for non-limited production Ferraris. It finished nearly six seconds ahead of the Enzo, with its all-wheel-drive system enabling torque vectoring at the front axle, while its brake-by-wire system and advanced electronic controls allow for precise modulation of braking forces, delivering stability and control at speeds and cornering loads that were previously unattainable in road cars. Fastest Ferrari at Fiorano 1:15.3s This list would be incomplete without acknowledging the remaining three mid-engine Ferraris that sit at the very top of this benchmark, each one pushing the limits of what a road-going car can achieve around Fiorano while continuing to build on the foundation established by the Ferrari Enzo. The Ferrari 296 Speciale records a 1:19.0 lap, matching the pace of the earliest hybrid hypercars through a lighter, more focused interpretation of the 296 platform. Step beyond that, and the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale pushes the envelope further with a 1:17.3, bringing track-derived aero and calibration into a road-legal format. At the very top sits the Ferrari F80, setting a 1:15.3. Ferrari's latest flagship recently began arriving stateside, and its near 10-second advantage over the Enzo not only redefines the Fiorano record but highlights just how far Ferrari’s performance envelope has evolved over the past two decades.

Supercar Donuts for National Donut Day And Where to Get F...

In 1938, America celebrated the first annual Donut Day. Though 20 years after the fact, it was started as a way to remember and honor a special group from the Salvation Army, nicknamed the "Donut Dollies," who provided the sweet fried dough treats to soldiers, along with pens, paper, toiletries and other life necessities, during World War One.Exotic Cars For SaleThe United States has marked every first Friday of every June since that year as National Donut Day, with chains and local bakers alike offering free treats in recognition of the holiday. We've decided to celebrate with donuts of a different variety, ones that probably don't taste good at all and really aren't meant to be edible.Below you'll find supercar donut videos that we've come across, featuring specialty tires ripped to shreds by vehicles using their power properly. Remember, even though June 3 is National Donut Day, do not attempt to recreate any of the actions in the videos below unless on a closed course and under professional supervision. The editors at duPont REGISTRY do not condone any illegal actions on the road, and would like to remind you all to be safe and obey all local traffic laws.(See Also: 10 Low Mileage Classic Cars for Sale)Of course, once you have the course closed off and the supervision arranged, you'll need a supercar worthy of becoming an exotic donut maker. Check out our exclusive listings at the button below, and see what you can find for your Donut Day celebration.View All Listings Lamborghini Aventador How about we start things off with some AWD donuts, courtesy of the Lamborghini Aventador. Ferrari F12berlinetta At the end of a track day, ADV.1 shredded some serious rubber behind the track to show off just show powerful the F12berlinetta really is. Luckily, Cinemotive Media was on hand to capture it all. BMW M4s in Tandem The only thing better than watching one BMW M4 do perfect donuts? Watching two do them, at the exact same time, within inches of each other. Koenigsegg One:1 With a perfectly matched power-to-weight ratio and a power output that pushes it to the level of megacar, the One:1 from Koenigsegg is the ideal candidate to test out a set of tires. A Ferrari LaFerrari's $3,000 Donuts The tires for Ferrari's LaFerrari are specially crafted specifically for the model by Pirelli, meaning they aren't exactly easy to replace quickly. But if you have an extra pair sitting around, you may as well put them to good use. Lamborghini Huracan in the Snow Just because it was designed with the track in mind doesn't mean a supercar can't crush it in icy conditions, too. Ferrari Enzo ZXX  After this particular Enzo spun off a patch of gravel and into a body of water in 2011, it was completely restored after $2.3 million was spent making it more powerful and better than before. 1991 Porsche RWB Porsche 911 Turbo Just because he's the CBO behind Hoonigan doesn't mean he isn't a Hoonigan himself. Brian Scotto is Ken Block's right hand, and he definitely knows all about Block's business from first-hand experience. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 In honor of Donut Day 2013, this Camaro tried its hand at making a few round trips, and it's safe to say this round of rubber-baking was a success. Police Livery Lamborghini Gallardo It's not often you see a police officer doing donuts. It's not often you see a Lamborghini Gallardo doing donuts. And it's almost unheard of to see a police officer doing donuts in a Lamborghini Gallardo. Unless you're in Italy. Porsche 918 Spyder It may be a hybrid, but it can still spin a donut with the best of them. Check out this video from Carlifestyle to get a good mix of detail shots and pure performance from the 918, and hear that engine come fully to life. Bonus: Ken Block Does Donuts Around a Donut It wouldn't be a donut video compilation if there wasn't at least one video of master-donut-maker Ken Block. The fact that these donuts are done around a giant donut just makes it even better. Where to Get Free Donuts Dunkin Donuts will be giving away free donuts all day with the purchase of a beverage. Krispy Kreme is giving away one donut to all U.S. customers at their locations. Entemann's is actually giving one fan a chance to win free donuts for a year through their Facebook page.
